Abstract: Paralysis occurs when you’re unable to make voluntary muscle movements. A nervous system problem causes paralysis. Uninjured nerves send signals to muscles. Those signals make muscles move. When you’re paralyzed, or have paralysis, you can’t move certain parts of your body. According to a report from the Indian Institute of Paralysis, out of every one crore people, 12,000 to 15,000 have Paralysis. In many cases, individuals with paralysis face challenges in expressing their needs, as they often struggle with speech impediments and cannot communicate through sign language due to partially compromised motor control. In response to this critical necessity, our proposed system offers a solution by facilitating message display on an OLED screen through simple hand gestures. The system operates by detecting various tilt directions of the fingers, facilitated by a transmitter embedded within a glove worn by the patient. Users can convey different messages by tilting the device in different directions. An accelerometer captures motion statistics, which are transmitted to a microcontroller for processing. Subsequently, the microcontroller interprets the data and displays the corresponding message on the OLED screen. Additionally, a buzzer is activated simultaneously with a message display upon receiving motion signals from the accelerometer. This innovative approach holds promise in empowering individuals with paralysis to communicate effectively, enhancing their quality of life and independence.
